Police say they are looking for a man who slashed two people in Mott Haven yesterday afternoon in broad daylight.

Police say the first attack was at Willis Avenue and East 147th Street at 3:15 p.m. the second was on Bergan avenue at 4 p.m. The slashings both happened in less than an hour just steps away from each other.

Police sources say, the attacker walked up to a 32-year-old man and randomly slashed him. 45 minutes later he went up to another victim, told him to take off his vest, the victim walked away and that's when sources say he slashed him.

Police are asking for the public's help to bring the accused attacker forward. You can do so by calling Crime Stoppers at 1800-577-TIPS.
